  • the heater arrangement 120 may comprise a susceptor material that is heated via induction heating.
  • the apparatus 100 also comprises one or more induction elements which generate a varying magnetic field that penetrate the heater arrangement 120.
  • the heater arrangement may be located internally or externally of the heating chamber 112.
  • the heater arrangement may comprise a thin film heater that is wrapped around an external surface of the heating chamber 112.
  • the heater arrangement 120 may be formed as a single heater or may be formed of a plurality of heaters aligned along the longitudinal axis of the heating chamber 112.
  • the heating chamber 112 may be annular or tubular, or at least part-annular or part-tubular around its circumference.
  • the heating chamber 112 is defined by a stainless steel support tube.
  • the heating chamber 112 is dimensioned so that substantially the whole of the aerosolisable medium in the article 102 is located within the heating chamber 112, in use, so that substantially the whole of the aerosolisable medium may be heated.
  • the heater arrangement 120 may include a susceptor that is located on or in the article 102, wherein the susceptor material is heatable via a varying magnetic field generated by the apparatus 100.
  • the heating chamber 112 may be arranged so that selected zones of the aerosolisable medium can be independently heated, for example in turn (over time) or together (simultaneously), as desired.
  • the apparatus 100 includes an electronics compartment 114 that houses electrical control circuitry or controller 116 and/or a power source 118, such as a battery. In other examples, a dedicated electronics compartment may not be provided and the controller 116 and power source 118 are located generally within the apparatus 100.

Locating the power source 118 adjacent to the heater arrangement 120 means that a physically large power source 118 may be used without causing the apparatus 100 as a whole to be unduly lengthy. As will be understood, in general a physically large power source 118 has a higher capacity (that is, the total electrical energy that can be supplied, often measured in Amp-hours or the like) and thus the battery life for the apparatus 100 can be longer.
  • the apparatus 100 It is sometimes desirable for the apparatus to be able to identify or recognise the particular article 102 that has been introduced into the apparatus 100, without further input from the user.
  • the apparatus 100 including, in particular, the heating control provided by the controller 116, will often be optimised for a particular arrangement of the article 102. Examples include control on the basis of one or more of size, shape, particular smokable material, etc. It would be undesirable for the apparatus 100 to be used with an aerosol medium or an article 102 having different characteristics.
  • the apparatus 100 can identify or recognise the particular article 102, or at least the general type of article 102, that has been introduced into the apparatus 100, this can help eliminate or at least reduce counterfeit or other non-genuine articles 102 being used with the apparatus 100.
  • the sensor arrangement 122 in the form of an optical sensor, is configured to sense the indicia 126 indicative of a parameter associated with the article 102.
  • a problem with the use of an optical sensor to read the indicia 126 on the article 102 is that particles from the aerosol may deposit of a surface of the optical sensor, thus impairing the ability of the optical sensor to read or sense the indicia 126.
  • other components might also be deposited on the sensor, such as non-aerosolised particles from the article 102, or condensate. Therefore, it is advantageous to prevent or reduce the amount of deposits on the surface of the optical sensor or alternatively provide means for removing any deposits on the surface of the optical sensor.
  • References to“optical” include any optical sensing system including those which operate using visible light, Infra-Red (IR) and Ultraviolet (UV).
  • the sensor arrangement may comprise a first sensor (not shown) and a second sensor (not shown).
  • the first sensor may be a detection sensor, that is configured to detect the presence of the article 102 in the chamber 112, for example, by monitoring for the presence of a reference marker 125 on the article 102.
  • the second sensor is configured to sense the indicia 126 indicative of a parameter associated with the article 102.
  • the first sensor and the second sensor are spaced apart from each other at approximately the same distance as the reference marker 125 and the indicia l26b. Spacing the first sensor and the second sensor apart from each other at approximately the same distance as the reference marker 125 and the indicia 126 provides an additional authenticity check.
  • the sensor arrangement 122 may provide one or more inputs to the controller 116, based on the sensed indicia 126.
  • the controller 116 may determine a parameter of the article 102, such as whether the article 102 is a genuine article, based on the received one or more inputs.
  • the controller 116 may activate the heater arrangement 120 depending on the determined parameter of the article 102.
  • the apparatus 100 is therefore provided with means of detecting whether the article 102 is a genuine product or not and may alter the operation of the apparatus 100 accordingly, for example, by preventing supply of power to the heater arrangement 120 if a non-genuine article is detected. Preventing use of the apparatus 100 when a non-genuine article is inserted into the apparatus 100 would reduce the likelihood of consumers having a poor experience due to the use of illicit consumables.
  • the controller 116 is able to determine a parameter of the article 102 based on the received one or more inputs from the sensor arrangement 122 and tailor the heat profile provided by the heater arrangement 120 based on the determined parameter.
  • the heater arrangement 120 of the apparatus 100 may be configured to provide a first heating profile if the indicia of the article 102 has a first characteristic (for example, by the controller 116 controlling the supply of power) and the heater arrangement 120 is configured to provide a second heating profile if the indicia has a second characteristic different from the first characteristic.
  • the apparatus 100 may be able to determine whether the consumable is a solid or a non solid consumable and adjust the heating profile accordingly.
  • the apparatus 100 may be able to distinguish between different blends of tobacco in the article 102 and tailor the heating profile accordingly to provide an optimised heating profile for the specific blend of tobacco that has been inserted into the apparatus 100.
  • Figure 4 shows a schematic longitudinal side view of an example of an article 102 comprising aerosolisable medium for use with the apparatus 100.
  • the article 102 also comprises a filter arrangement (not shown) in addition to the aerosolisable medium.
  • the article 102 also comprises an indicia 126 that is configured to be sensed by the sensor arrangement 122, in the form of an optical sensor, of the apparatus 100.
  • the indicia may be made up of marker elements and represents encoded information indicative of a parameter of the article 102.
  • the parameter may indicate the maker of the article 102, such that the article 102 can be confirmed as genuine.
  • the parameter may indicate the type of aerosolisable medium in the article 102, such as whether the aerosolisable medium is in the form of a solid, liquid or gel.
  • the parameter may also be indicative of a variant of the aerosolisable medium, such as whether the aerosolisable medium comprises Burley tobacco or Virginia tobacco.
  • the parameter may indicate a heating profile that should be used to heat the article 102.
  • the parameter may indicate other characteristics of the article 102. Providing an indicia 126 allows the apparatus 100 to provide a tailored experience for the user based on the identification information of the article 102.
  • the article 102 also includes a reference marker 125.
  • the reference marker 125 may be configured to be sensed by a second sensor, in the form of a detection sensor, to indicate the presence of the article 102.
  • the reference marker 125 may be made up of one or more marker elements, as described below.
  • the indicia 126 may comprise an optical characteristic, for example, in Figure 4, the indicia 126 is in the form of a plurality of lines on the outside of the article 102.
